Description

The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels on 223 parchment leaves (size 15.5 cm by 12 cm).[2] The text is written in one column per page, 26 lines per page.[2]

The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin. There is also a division according to the Ammonian Sections, with references to the Eusebian Canons (written below Ammonian Section numbers).[3]

It contains the tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, Prolegomena, lectionary markings at the margin (for liturgical use), Synaxarion, and Menologion.[4]

Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family K^x.[5] Aland placed it in Category V.[6]

According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents textual family K^x in Luke 1, Luke 10, and Luke 20. It belongs to the cluster 1193.[5]

History

Formerly the manuscript was held at the Philotheou monastery at Athos peninsula.[3] It was brought to Moscow, by the monk Arsenius, on the suggestion of the Patriarch Nikon, in the reign of Alexei Mikhailovich Romanov (1645-1676). The manuscript was collated by C. F. Matthaei.[7]

The manuscript is currently housed at the State Historical Museum (V. 17, S. 400) at Moscow.[2]

gollark: It works with `python3 -m http.server`.

gollark: I'm using the *same file*, served by `python3 -m http.server` and Warp's static file handling.

gollark: Okay, this is incredibly weird! Even when my server sends `audio/mp4` instead of `audio/m4a` in the headers, *Firefox still won't play it*!

gollark: WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME, FIREFOX

gollark: Hmm, so now it doesn't like `audio/m4a` either?!
